Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.

Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.

But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.

    I know, but the idea was that they would vote for kamala, because it’s the lesser evil. And it would scare the piss out of boomers when they see they are outnumbered

      I think if we are expecting young progressive people to vote for representation they will want at least young or progressive leadership.

      Kamala was neither of those things

      She was the lesser evil, but I think America is sick of choosing evil at all.
